i collect patches from police, fire, and other government agencies. i have some impressive ones – FBI, BATF, Immigration, Customs, i think it’s like 600 total from all over the country and a few foreign ones. I used to work for Motorola and someone came in from BATF and gave one out as a tip and then i started asking the cops that came in for them, and then i started writing letters to law enforcement agencies. The biggies that i named above i got by knowing people that work there. One day I’ll mount them on a wall in a frame. in the meantime they’re in the closet.
I also collect salt and pepper shakers and cute kitchen stuff, like sugar and creamers that are bunnies, cats, stuff like that. I know there is a big disparity between law enforcement patches and salt and pepper shakers, but i’m an unusual girl.
